To complement the videos, the company also offers starter kits and supplies for indoor or greenhouse gardens. GreenBox Grow founder Dylan Osborn explains how the company came to be. What did you and your partners do before starting this company? I was attending the University of Southern California while also launching my first venture. The business was a nightlife mobile app where you could reserve guest lists and bottle service for nightclubs. After a few years working on the app, I was sick and tired of the backstabbing nature of the nightlife scene and decided to move on to cannabis. My partners, R.L. and Jenna, 28 grow. heal. learn. enjoy. are also my parents, as this is a family- owned business. Jenna works as a court reporter and R.L. owns/operates a luxury carpet and rug cleaning business. How did you get into this industry? I have been growing my own cannabis at home for the last five years because I couldn’t afford the prices of the dispensa- ries but still needed this medicine. In 2010, I blew out my right knee and have had severe stiffness and pain because of it. myhydrolife.com
